Couple of questions about a new tattoo?

Pretty much it is normal it sucks cause its on the wrist I know I have one done there too. It is normal though cause all it is is a open cut, and yes the best thing to do is use non-scented, NON-MEDICATED because that burns like a *****. I use liberiderm it's perfect it doesn't have a scent doesn't medicate and it moisturizes. I have 8 tattoos and I would say thats the best product to buy :) Also idk if they told you not to pick at it but DONT it will scar and look bad.
